AVID Day: September 18

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a college and career readiness system designed to prepare students for success. AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. We are focused on developing independence in our students K-6 in organization, note-taking, and goal setting. 

September 18 is AVID Day!. On September 18, please encourage your child to wear a shirt or something that represents a college or career in your family. You might also ask them to share a “celebration” or “callback” that they use in the classroom.  Waterfall is particularly popular.


Reporting Discrimination or Harassment

FCPS is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for people of all races, national origins, and ethnicities. Individuals experiencing harassment or discrimination should report the incident as soon as possible. 


Your Child’s Presence at School Matters

The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success by helping them build good habits. 

If you or your family need any kind of support, please reach out to our front office. We are here for you! Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.


Rosh Hashanah

Rosh

Shanah tovah to our Jewish community celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! Meaning “head of the year,” Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s holiest days and marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection that ends with Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday, September 11. That day is an evening-only observance day.
